Thinking in 3D

Summary by Krater

This video introduces the perspective section of the Drawing Basics course, covering 1, 2, and 3-point perspective using boxes and primitives to create the illusion of depth in organic and geometric drawings.

Answers: How do I draw perspective in art?

• 1-point perspective
• 2-point perspective
• 3-point perspective
• Drawing boxes and primitives
• Applying perspective to organic forms and figures

What it concludes

• Perspective allows the representation of a three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional surface.
• The box is the simplest representation of a form in 3D and describes all three dimensions with its three axes.
• Perspective can be applied to organic things like people, animals, and trees to make them look more convincing and 3D.
• Learning the 20% of theory that gives 80% of the effect is a better approach for illustration and fine art than striving for 100% accuracy.
